Broadband wireless Internet is still radio. What concerns me is the 
incredible choices it'll offer. Perhaps so much that no one will be 
able to make money with it. We'll be competing with every "station" 
in every market in every corner of the world. It'll make the 
"stations between the stations" look as meager as it really is.

I think we'll have to come up with a different economic model. 
Compelling content will be far more important than it is today. I'm 
assuming it'll be full Internet access and not limited to those who 
have paid to be carried.
